'Incestuous' Couple Bobby Kristina Brown and Nick Gordon Split

From the not really that sublime to the utterly ridiculous. The daughter of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina Brown has been locked in a supposed relationship with her adopted half brother, Nick Gordon. Nick was informally adopted by Whitney when he was 12 and the pair were raised as brother and sister. They were "always close" growing up but their relationship began to metamorphosise as they got older and they looked to each other for comfort after Whitney's death in February and began living as a couple in Atlanta.

Well it seems that the couple who have long been slammed as ‘incestuous’ have finally broken up in a storm of predictably banal tweets. He had initially tried to draw a line under all the relationship speculation before being thwarted by a cosy sounding tweet from his half sister / girlfriend / co star on reality TV. But then – something apparently gave way and next thing we knew, she was crashing her car in theatrical fashion and the Twitter floodgates opened

"Who do I trust in this world? Pfft well that's easy beezie, #Myself, No1 will kno's me like ME&They'd rather not take thtchance2knoME, &2me."

"That's incredibly fine .. Because you'd be missing out on a #REALperson Xxo #armyofme #onmywon #goingtomakeit#determined.

It must be remembered when contemplating such Shakespearian tragedy that they are both stars of tasteless reality show, The Houstons which follows the pair and other family members, Whitney’s brother Gary, sister-in-law (and the singer's former manager) Patricia Houston and Bobbi's grandmother Cissy Houston .

One of the executive producers on the show tweeted: "@nickgordon @realbkbrown watch to see how it all unfolds on #TheHoustons on @lifetimetv (sic).”
